Include any other comments or information you want the Commission to consider in evaluating your compliance with the Children's Television Act (or use this space for supplemental explanations). This may include information on any other noncore educational and informational programming that you aired this quarter or plan to air during the next quarter, or any existing or proposed non-broadcast efforts that will enhance the educational and informational value of such programming to children. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. The program listed in the "Non-Core" programming section met all requirements of "Core" except that it's start time of 6:30 am put 1/2 of each episode outside the 7 am to 10 pm CORE window. The same program is also listed in the "Core" programming section because the other scheduled airings of the same program fall within the 7 am to 10 pm window. 07/29/17: Generation of the Cross was moved from 1:00P to 11:00A for one day only to accommodate a special program, International Youth Conference Live Service. 4/10/18: Subsequent to the initial filing of this 2017.Q3 report, the licensee was advised by the VIETV Network (DT-3) that during 3Q 2017 it incorrectly reported the time period during which E/I programming aired. This amendment corrects the time period aired to 7:30A for the E/I program, The He Tre.
